research Production and Characterization of Wool and Hair Fibers in Highlands of Baluchistan, an Economic and Sustainable Approach for Pakistan
Improving skills and technology in Baluchistan's wool industry could boost quality, jobs, and Pakistan's economy.
research Interaction of polypeptides with hair in different reducing environments
Small KP peptide improves hair without reducing agents, while larger proteins need them for better results.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
The skin has about 230,000 touch-sensitive nerve fibers, with high concentrations in the hands and face.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research 689 Regional differences in scalp innervation: A pilot study of the healthy scalp
The back of the scalp has more nerve fibers than the front, which may explain why some people feel more sensitivity there.
research On Pathways for Small Molecules Into and Out of Human Hair Fibers
Dye enters hair at the edges of cuticle cells and penetrates more from water than alcohol-based solutions.
research Ocfentanil testing in hair from a fatality case: Comparative analysis of a lock of hair versus a single hair fiber
Both a lock of hair and a single hair strand can show chronic drug use, but at least six single hairs are needed for accurate results.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Controversy: Synthetic hairs and their role in hair restoration?
Synthetic hair fibers for hair restoration were controversial in 2009 due to health risks and lack of support from the International Society of Hair Restoration.
research Investigation of human hair fibers using lateral force microscopy
Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.
research Discovery of genes and proteins possibly regulating mean wool fibre diameter using cDNA microarray and proteomic approaches
Researchers identified genes and proteins that may influence wool thickness in sheep.
research Luxury Hair Fibers for Fashion Industry
The industry should promote pure luxury hair fibers, improve technology, and diversify products to support growers and ensure sustainable use.
research Vitamin B12 Malabsorption: The Pathophysiological Impacts on Neurological and Hair Physiology
Vitamin B12 is crucial for hair and nerve health, and its malabsorption can cause hair loss and nerve damage.
research Different Requirements for GFRα2-Signaling in Three Populations of Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
GFRα2 is essential for controlling neuron size but not for target innervation in certain sensory neurons.
research Sensory innervation of the hairs of the rat hindlimb: A light microscopic analysis
Different types of hairs on a rat's hindlimb have varying levels and patterns of nerve innervation.
research Hair-on-hair static friction coefficient can be determined by tying a knot
Tying a knot can measure hair friction, useful for medical applications.
research The beneficial effects of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepoL.) seed oil for health condition of men
Pumpkin seed oil may improve prostate health, bladder control, and hair growth in men.
research Joint Public Review: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and nerve function in mice.
research Comment on scalp neuropathy in androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.
research Three-dimensional analyses of touch domes in the hairy skin of the cat paw reveal morphological substrates for complex sensory processing
Cat paws have complex touch sensors for detailed sensory processing.
research Discovery of a sol–gel reinforcing the strength of hair structure: mechanisms of action and macroscopic effects on the hair
A small molecule can strengthen fine hair, making it more resistant and natural-feeling.
research The Pathological Culprit of Neuropathic Skin Pain in Long COVID-19 Patients: A Case Series
Long COVID-19 patients with skin pain might have a nerve condition that responds to a medication called gabapentin.
research Use of artificial intelligence to track platelet-rich plasma treatment outcomes in females with nonscarring alopecia: A case series
AI can help track and improve hair loss treatment outcomes.
research Feeding the skin: The emerging role of nutritional intervention in dermatological disorders
Nutrition plays a key role in managing skin disorders, with specific dietary changes helping improve conditions like acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia, and skin cancer.
research Clinical and macrophotographic study of the percutaneous implantation of synthetic hair (Nido SHI)
Synthetic hair implants can be used to cover small bald spots.
research Phenotypic Correlation between Guard Hair and Down Hair in Chinese Alashan Left Banner White Cashmere Goat: A Preliminary Study
Guard hair length is positively correlated with guard hair diameter and down fiber length, but negatively correlated with variation in guard hair diameter and down fiber diameter.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
